49: Coming Home

This ficlet brought to you by the fact that I should be in bed but instead am watching Jurassic Park 2 under a billion blankets. :P

====================

"What are you watching?"

Steve bolted upright - he hadn’t even realized he was asleep. ”Huh? Oh. Not sure.” He’d been dreaming about dinosaurs, and sure enough, there were dinosaurs on the TV screen.

Peggy, standing behind the couch, ruffled his hair. “It’s half-past three,” she informed him. “Go to bed.”

"What about you?"

She climbed over the back of the couch and sank down next to him with a sigh, still wearing her SHIELD-issue windbreaker over her jeans and t-shirt. She appeared to be almost completely covered in a fine grey dust, and was sporting a painful-looking bruise across one cheek, but she had the distinct air of self-satisfaction that generally came with the successful completion of a mission.

"I want a shower," she said - imperiously, as though she expected the shower to get up and come to her. "And something to eat."

Limbs still heavy with sleep, Steve dropped his arm around her shoulders, pressed a kiss into her hair. “You smell like smoke,” he observed, nosing against the side of her neck. “What’ve you been up to?”

"Oh, one thing and another," said Peggy vaguely. "Did you make dinner?"

"Yeah." Steve was currently on leave, having signed off on a mission of his own a few days before. He’d arrived home, eaten everything in sight, then collapsed in bed for a full fourteen hours. For once, he was able to see the wisdom in SHIELD’s policy against domestic partners working together. "And then I ate it at a decent hour like a normal person."

She tweaked his ear sharply. “Cheeky.”

"Meatloaf. In the fridge."

She made an approving noise, cuddling into his shoulder. “That’s more like it.”

Neither of them moved to get up.

"Darling…"

"Okay." Steve lifted his arms over his head, trying to stretch away his lingering tiredness. "I’ll warm it up. Do you want anything to drink?"

"A cup of tea would be -" she yawned prodigiously - "hmm, lovely. Thank you."

He put the kettle on to boil, then came back to the couch to check on her. She was curled up in the same spot where Steve had been; her eyes were closed. The television was still blaring, dinosaurs rampaging across the screen.

He picked up the remote and turned the volume most of the way down. "You still want to eat?"

She made an unintelligible noise, burrowing deeper into the couch cushions.

"Agent Rogers?"

"Half a moment," she murmured, pulling the blanket over herself.

Dutifully, he went and made the tea: Red Rose, milk, no sugar.

Peggy was sound asleep by the time he returned.

pretend sam wilson is somewhere in front of you so you have to run REALLY WELL AND REALLY FAST so you can overtake him and make cheesy on your left jokes /helpful

Okay but can we talk about how all I want in life is to say this to someone and THEY GET THE REFERENCE AND THEY CHASE AFTER ME but I still beat them to wherever our finish line is of course

kamala-skadoosh replied to your post: it’s time for me to go runbut you see,...

just pretend i’m there going “on your left” at you, hee.

And then I'd double around, say "on your right" and push you into a bush or something

sneaky-u replied to your post:I like your story but I personally think you made Peggy way too thirsty. It seems kid of one sided and I don't know if that's true to her character.

[cut for spoilers in case people aren't caught up on FWNL]

Did anon miss the parts where Steve has said ‘I love you’ twice whereas Peggy hasn’t yet? I don’t really understand how she’s being more ‘thirsty’ in the story. Besides, it’s from her POV - of course there’s going to be more focus on her emotions

Pretty much, yep!

My brain isn't awake enough to think of anything good BUT I did just want to say that I really enjoyed reading the ones you posted last night! Even the heartbreaking one;;

That's okay, I have so many of these to get through still. Thanks for reading!

Hope you feel better soon! Also highfive for ‘Oliver!’ love! (if you are a fan of the Artful Dodger can I recommend ‘Dodger’ by James Benmore? I read it earlier this month and it’s great. Think it’s out in Canada soon. Sorry for the random comment!

You can absolutely recommend it! Thanks!
